Nothing, I've already checked your balance and it isn't even worth stealing.

>>13990553

No. Real villains have a build up to them, over the course of the entire game.

No this faggot sucked

Flowey for sure

It made me chuckle because I realized just how far out of left field Armstrong actually comes from. Yet, he's written well enough that people just immediately like him.

>>13991559

scorpius did nothing wrong.

>>13991886

No, he is literally shadow Yu. Did you even play the game?

>>13991921

His motivations and personality have a lot more in common with Shadow Yosuke.

>inb4 muh Persona 4 Golden Animation

>>13991931

He's pure chaotic neutral. Which is the opposite of the MC's true neutral. You're a retarded fag.

>>13991921

Are you sure it isn't shadow (you)?

Prove me wrong without ad hominem, you goon fuck.

I was afraid this would turn into a meaningless insult and it has. Now I can't call out actual goons without looking like a moron.

But yeah, you're retarded if you can't see the similarities between Shadow Yosuke and Adachi, in that both their motivations are "lol i was bored so i killed people"

I think the "boredom" motive of Adachi is why I like him so much. It's the strongest motive because you literally can't argue against it. There is no counter-argument to doing anything because you're bored.

The motivation also works because of the build up behind it. The more you find out about the murders, the less shit makes sense, and you're wondering what the hell could possibly tie all this incomprehensible shit together. Then you find out who the killer is and when you finally confront him, the only answer you get is "i was bored lol"

It pisses you off, but you can't get angry at the writers because not only is it the only motivation that really works, but it's also the only motivation that makes sense.

There aren't really a lot of villains like Adachi. There's Akechi in Persona 5, but he's different because he actually wanted power. He's also a good villain for different yet kinda similar reasons that Adachi is. Still, I consider Adachi the better villain.

>>13992092

You have no argument, so you hide behind smug self-satisfaction. You are the prototypical lefitst/goon, and you're not worth the keyboard strokes. Do us all a favor and suck-start a shotgun.

>>13992088

Brevity is the soul of wit. Break that down into maybe three sentences and maybe I'll read it.

you're not doing a good job, /leftypol/

>>13992115

>if I call them leftypol, maybe the lurkers won't realize that he's a natsoc who is in the right

>>13991491

He also had Diplomatic Immunity. Faggot covered his ass from all angles. Also, Investigations 1 cornered theme just makes fucking him up better.

>>13992131

I don't like how he shows up in the last case and ONLY the last case. I hate villains with no buildup at all over the course of the game.

I think that's something Investigations 2 and Spirit of Justice did better. You meet Simon Keyes and Queen Cunt early on in the game, establishing them as characters. They don't just show up in the last case and then boom they're the villain, like Alba did.

>>13992184

To be fair, there's foreshadowing of the smug ring leadership that kinda points to one of the 2 countries. He had to keep himself hidden for a reason, though.

Also, if it's foreshadowing you want, Dahlia is right there along the Devil.

>>13992184

literally the entire game was about a secret drug ring or some shit with each of it's members being the culprits. Frankly it wouldn't make sense for the last one to even have buildup, it's a foreign smuggle ring so naturally it's leaders would be unknown.

MY SWEET PERSISTENT FRIEND

>>13992316

I can't think of anyone more evil.

>>13991558

He's written like a basic burger politician stereotype. Burgers like him because they're proud that way. It has nothing to do with quality, and Sundowner is more popular anyway.

>>13992316

He did nothing wrong.

I've played all three DS games and the first investigations game. Kind of burnt out about the games, but what would recommend after that? Just keep playing in order, or is there some real standout amongst the bunch?

>>13993609

Investigations 2 is my favorite in the series, far better than investigations 1, certainly. It's nip only but there's a fan translation of it that's pretty good.

The rest of the series was okay, but it never got as good as T&T.

>>13993621

Thanks, getting on it as we speak.

>>13993253

>Sundowner

Where?

I always thought Samuel was the most popular of the MGR bosses. Rival battles and all that.

>>13993621

Played every AA except Apollo Justice and the Layton spinoff. Are they worth checking out?

I tried playing Apollo some time ago, but couldn't be bothered to get past the first case. It's getting a 3ds hd rerelease now, so I considered trying it again.

>>13993626

>>13993621

I thought investigations 1 was much better, frankly. The new characters were really uninteresting and annoying at times, but what really killed it for me was that the music was nowhere near as good imo.

>>13993796

If you didn't like AJ the first time around i don't see why it would be any different on the 3DS. No idea about the Layton spinoff though, i haven't played it.

>>13993796

The layton spinoff is good.

>>13993796

Honestly, AJ sucks. It says it all that Phoenix Wright is still the best character in there. And the last case is the worst of all the final cases in all of the games…

>>13993806

I think 1 is much better too, but I do think 2 has pretty cool characters like the Warden or even the Knightly. The music is not nearly as good, but it's not bad, it's just that 1 had a really high bar, the cornered theme being the actual theme of Edworth remixed and all. Also, 2 has those chess interrogations that are really cool.

>>13993926

The thing that Phoenix Wright did good in the first game was killing Mia. Mia was by all means just plain better than Phoenix and she probably still is. With AJ, Phoenix is to Apollo what Mia was supposed to be to Phoenix, I understand you can't kill Phoemix, but that's exactly why Apollo will always be shit.

>>13995922

That shit still gets me every time.

A regional mafia boss gets two diametrically opposed eco-terrorists and a handful of international baddies some of which have aspirations that boarder on megalomania and they form a team because “hey, we’re all bad guys.”
